At first glance you might think that this is just a repacking of a couple of the movies that Jim Carrey has done in his career. You'd be wrong. The movie is set in some kind of parallel universe where everyone says exactly what they are thinking regardless of the ramifications. Lying is a foreign concept. At some point Gervais is able to tell a lie to make someone feel better. The movie is amusing at first and there is a slow build. There is about 10 minutes where it is as funny as any film that I've seen in a long time. I can't give too much away. Gervais is following in the footsteps of Woody Allen here - he is taking a thinly-veiled shot at religious belief via satire. My only criticism of the movie is that Gervais didn't quite know how to end the movie. I think he had a fantastic idea but didn't quite know how to bring it home.
